I want to pick brains of Dhoni and Bravo: Wood
England paceman Mark Wood today said he wants to pick the brains of former India skipper MS Dhoni and West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and emerge as a "match winner" for Chennai Super Kings during next month's Indian Premier League. Wood said he was "immensely proud" to get to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL. Here's more.
IPL a great competition and CSK is best team: Wood
"I think learning to cope in pressure situations can only help. And picking the brains of some of the legends of the game... MSD as my captain will provide a great insight and I would love to work with (Dwayne) Bravo and develop my slower-ball," the 28-year-old Wood said. The highly-rated Durham bowler, who regularly clocks 140kmph, said he wants to thrive under pressure.
CSK were looking for a fast bowler
"We were looking at someone who can regularly bowl at 140kmph and (head coach) Stephen Fleming felt Wood was a good option. We feel he has the potential to do well in the IPL," CSK's CEO KS Viswanathan said.
